Lest We 4 Pret
A fairly crass title for a lunch update, but it always comes to mind when I darken Pret a Manger’s doors, as I did last Saturday. I wanted nourishment and I wanted BRIGHT PUNCHY FLAVOURS!
I slurped up the chicken laksa soup “a creamy coconut soup, packed with British chicken, rice noodles, red pepper and sliced red chilli” - which I’ve had before and is pretty competent.
Next up was the vegan Sunshine ‘N Spice chickpea wrap, new for me and so new I can’t find any details of it online - it’s curried chickpeas with mango chutney, mint, spinach, cucumber and red pepper. Actually had a nice amount of heat, could of done with a bit more mint and def not a filling meal - thank GOD I had that chicken laksa too.
We have a Pret at the mouth of the mall where I live and although it can remind me of working in Oxford Circus for 13 years, I kinda like having it here. My all time fave sandwich from Pret is the sometimes mouth scraping Jambon-Beurre - the joyful simplicity of crusty roll, ham, cornichons and butter.
